Onmyoji reincarnation plan
Chapter 86 The little gray wolf wants to eat the big sheep 1
In Honghua City, on the ten-mile long street, warm lights in various poses and with different expressions are like stars in the daytime, shining brightly under the night.After Ning Xin, Ah Yan and Xia Qi parted ways in the restaurant, they walked side by side through the noisy lights.
On the long street of the night market, various shops are crowded together, and people rub shoulders with each other, crowding the street to the brim.
Ning Xin looked at Ah Yan, who was silent beside him, and felt depressed for no reason.This kid has a very strange temper recently. He loses his temper when he is not paying attention, and he doesn't say what made him angry, but sometimes he sticks to himself like a dog's skin plaster.
What's even more strange is that I actually tolerate him again and again.
He took a sneak peek twice, and couldn't help but ask first: "Will the lights be boring?"
not boring. "A Yan looked at the lanterns hanging high on both sides, and said casually, "It's quite fun. "
Ning said: "Have you visited the Lantern Festival before?"
"No." Ah Yan replied bluntly: "It's so boring to come to this kind of place alone."
Ning Xin frowned, stunned, pondered for a long time, and said in a low voice: "When you were in Yizhuang, how did you live?"
"How else can I live?" Ah Yan tilted his shoulders slightly, avoiding the passers-by who were about to bump into him, and seemed to laugh at himself, before sighing, "It's a day to live."
"I remember the first time I went there, there was nothing there. Where did you get your usual food?" Ning Xin paused and asked softly.
"Eat... as long as you don't die of hunger." Ah Yan thought for a while, and said indifferently, "Every time Yizhuang sends the dead over, they will place a few plates of tribute according to the rules. Let’s go, I will hide the tribute, the fruit is perishable, the pastry is better, it can be stored for a longer time, save some food, and it can last for a month and a half.”
Those who speak have no intention, but those who listen have heart.
The experiences of Ning Xin and Ah Yan are similar in some respects.The father who was the head of the sect didn't care about him, and his mother died early. If he hadn't been born in a place with support like the Yin Yang sect, he might not be much better than Ah Yan.
Just as he was thinking, the hand he held in his palm was pulled, so he turned his face to look.
"Why did the master suddenly talk to me about this?" Ah Yan stopped and looked up.
"It's nothing." Ning Xin was stared at by the childish sharp eyes in front of him, feeling a little nervous for no reason, and said, "Seeing that you don't talk all the way, just chat casually."
Ah Yan glanced at him, turned around and continued walking forward, saying, "I saw that you didn't really want to talk to me, so you didn't say anything."
"Why do you think so?" Ning Xin was at a loss, followed his footsteps, and lowered his head.
"When you left the restaurant, you turned your head three times at a time, and I saw it." Ah Yan replied, "You have been frowning all the way, isn't it because you are not happy with Master Xia?"
Hearing this, Ning Xin was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "I frowned because I was thinking about you, not Xia Qi."
Ah Yan blushed slightly, and muttered, "What's wrong with me?!"
There were more and more people on the long street, Ning Xinfu took Ah Yan's hand again, looked around, walked towards a larger open space, and said, "Why were you angry a few days ago?"
That day in the teahouse and Xia Qi hadn't finished talking, he was dragged away by force, and after returning to the Yin Yang Gate, he lost his temper for no reason all afternoon.
Ah Yan suddenly fell silent, his eyes followed his toes forward.
The two were in front of each other, Ning Xin didn't hear an answer for a long time, turned his head and looked a few times, and said a little bit annoyed: "Do you think I'm a bit older, and it's inconvenient to say something to me?"
"No!" Ah Yan puffed his mouth and said, "I was angry that day because... because I didn't sleep well!"
"Didn't sleep well?!" Ning Xin said in doubt.
Ah Yan immediately said: "The ground is damp and hard, not as comfortable as Yizhuang." Afraid that he would not believe it, he nodded emphatically.
"You slept on the floor?!" Ning Xin looked at him and said in a deep voice, "Why don't you sleep when you have a bed?"
Ah Yan replied, "I can't sleep on the bed."
"The bed is uncomfortable?" Ning Xin asked puzzled.
"It's not about the bed." Ah Yan shook his head and said, "I always sleep under the coffin in Yizhuang, one is to prevent people from finding out, and the other is that I don't dare to really sleep in the coffin, I always feel that those corpses will get up at night to choke my neck."
"You treat the bed as a coffin and dare not sleep on it." Ning Xin thought about the relationship and said.
Ah Yan said 'hmm'.
"Your habit is not good." Ning Xin stopped in one place and pondered for a moment, then said worriedly, "You are growing up now, sleeping on the ground is not enough to grow taller."
"My lord~" Ah Yan suddenly changed his tone and said with his arms around Ning Xin's waist.
Fortunately, he has just reached the age of dancing elephants, and this kind of intimate behavior is seen by passers-by on the street as just a young man in his family acting like a baby to his elder brother.
But Ning's heart was full of deer bumping, he had never been so close to others, he tried his best to hide his flustered expression, and lowered his voice, "What's wrong?"
"I have an idea that will allow me to sleep on the bed." Ah Yan said with a smile on his face.
Ning Xin looked down at him, gestured with his eyes, and said.
"You sleep with me." Ah Yan showed two milky little wolf teeth, rubbed his waist and moved his fingers to the front, poking Ning Xin's navel and said, "I'm not so afraid when I sleep with someone in my arms."
Ning Xin originally felt that his waist was so numb, and when he was poked with a finger, his face was solemn, and he directly refused: "No, what are you talking about!"
Ah Yan said angrily: "But we have slept together before!"
Ning said: "That's because you fell asleep and dragged me and didn't let go, that's why we slept together!"
"Then I'll just sleep on the floor!" Ah Yan's expression darkened, and he groaned with his back turned to him.
"Ah Yan!" Ning Xin was a little serious, but also a little helpless.
Suddenly, there was a sound of gongs and drums on the long street, and the crowds rushed in one direction, only to hear a mighty and powerful voice, "Start watching the lanterns and guessing riddles!"
Ah Yan forgot to be angry, and turned his face to look in the direction of the voice, but unexpectedly, he stumbled and was bumped suddenly, and fell to one side, his nose smelling cold.
"Are you okay?" Ning Xin supported Ah Yan, worried.
Ah Yan looked up, his face fell down again, he immediately stood up straight and took two steps back, straightened his clothes, and said calmly: "It's okay."
Ning Xin's two hands were still hanging, awkwardly fixed in place.
A middle-aged man in a gray coat and jacket bowed again and again, and apologized: "I'm really sorry, I was in a hurry to guess the lantern riddles, and I didn't see your young master. I'm sorry for bumping into him."
"Is it fun to guess lantern riddles?" Ah Yan said carelessly, "So many people rushed over."
"The young master is not from here." The middle-aged man heard an expert, "Our annual lantern festival in Honghua City, guessing lantern riddles is the highlight."
Ah Yan became interested, and hurriedly said: "Let's listen to it."
The middle-aged man cleared his throat, his eyes couldn't hide his excitement and said: "This year's lantern riddle guessing is at the end, whoever can guess the most will be given a big gift by the owner of this lantern festival."
"Is it a very valuable thing?" Ah Yan asked.
"The year before last was a pair of snow-capped white antlers, and last year it was a top-grade jade ruyi." The middle-aged man suddenly whispered, "I heard that this year's is even more precious than the previous two years."
Ah Yan thought about it for a while, his eyes were bright, and he wanted to go and see, but he turned his head to look at Ning Xin who was silent, and remembered that he was still fighting with him, and didn't know how to speak, and then drooped his face.
"Want to go?" Ning Xin glanced at him, with all his thoughts on his face, and said in a clear and gentle voice.
"Yeah." Ah Yan nodded lightly and responded.
"Let's go." Ning Xin clasped his small hands, warm and soft, and said, "There are many people there, don't let go of my hand."
Seeing the two people's one-on-one answer, the middle-aged man showed sincere envy on his face, and said, "Master, you are really kind to your brother. I was beaten up by my brother when I was young."
The atmosphere that had just improved was instantly broken by his words.
Ah Yan's face was cold, a domineering air shot out of his eyes, and he said every word: "I! No! Yes! He! Brother! Brother!"
The words were about to fall to the ground, the middle-aged man was slammed, and he was stunned for a moment. When he realized it, there was no one in front of him.He scratched his head and said blankly: "Did I say the wrong thing? Why is that child's eyes so scary..."
Under the empty moon, the lanterns shine brightly, shining through the cold night.In the middle of the Lantern Festival, there is a scaffold several meters high, like a big colorful tree, with hundreds of colorful lanterns hanging on it, reflecting the light.
Ah Yan stretched out his hand to hook a pug-shaped lantern on a high place, but he was not tall enough, so he jumped around several times without even touching the side.He looked discouraged, and complained softly: "What are you doing hanging so high?!"
At this time, he raised a sleeve by his side, and with an effortless finger, he held the lantern in his hand.
"Here you are." Ning Xin handed it to his eyes, and the cold face was a little less unapproachable under the light.
Ah Yan took it, looked up at Ning Xin thoughtfully, his brows were wrinkled, and said for a long time, "I will definitely grow taller than you in three years!"
"Then you should sleep well and eat more!" Ning Xin laughed.
When it came to sleeping, Ah Yan hummed, looked down at the lantern riddle written on the lantern in his hand, and said, "There is no dog barking at the beginning (guess the word). '
He looked at it for a while, but didn't understand how to guess the lantern riddle, so he asked, "What does this mean?"
Ning Xin bent over and leaned forward with his hands behind his back to look, his naturally drooping hair touched the little hand holding the lantern, trembling slightly.
"This is a crossword puzzle, and the answer is the question word."
An old man with a white goatee came over, handed Ning Xin a red lottery, and said, "My lord is very smart, you keep this lottery, and the winner is the one who gets the most lottery after the lantern festival."
Ning Xin thanked the old man, turned his head to look at Ah Yan, saw him frowning and looking at the lantern, "Don't understand?"
"Yeah." Ah Yan replied without raising his head.
"Entrance refers to the door, there is no dog barking, remove the word "dog", and the word "entrance" means asking." Ning Xin explained.
"That's it." Ah Yan seemed to be beginning to understand what was going on, pointing to another lantern and said, "What about that one?"
Looking in the direction of the finger, there is a scrolling lantern that reads, 'The sun and the moon come together (guess the word). '
Ning Xin: "It's the word for courage."
Ah Yan: "But it's not like splitting characters?"
"This is spelling." Ning Xin gesticulated with his fingers on the lantern, and said slowly, "You see, it says "Qi Lai", which means that all three characters must be used. There are many characters when the sun and the moon are added together, but Add one and there is only the word gall."
After saying one sentence, Ning Xin got another red ticket.
A person dressed as a scholar beside him sighed: "This young man is so talented, he even solved two riddles in a short time. It's in vain that I haven't solved one after ten years of hard work."
"It's just a fluke." Ning Xinqian said.
At this time, a sweet female voice came from a distance, "Senior Brother Ning Sect Master!"
I saw Wei Yaoyao wearing a green coat and a light skirt, slightly changed into pink and black, holding a lotus water lantern in her hand, squeezed through the crowd, ran to the front panting, and said angrily: "Senior Brother Ning and Ah Yan came out to visit the Lantern Festival. calls me?"
In the past, if Wei Yaoyao spoke in such a tone, Ning Xin would be so happy.But since he had a dream with Xia Qi when he was a teenager some time ago, he found that he has changed instantly, no matter in character or in terms of people, including Wei Yaoyao, and sometimes he even thinks that his junior sister is very noisy.
"Why do I need to call you?!" Ah Yan suddenly changed his expression.
"How do you talk, you wild boy that no one wants?" Wei Yaoyao saw that Ah Yan was also very unpleasant, and was ridiculed again, pointing her nose and scolding, "You are just two senior brothers who are in charge of the dead. The little bastard you picked up, what right do you have to talk to me? Besides, after entering my Yin Yang Gate, I have to bow politely when I see my senior sister in the future!"
"Who do you call a bastard!" Ah Yan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
"Who are you to say that you don't know in your heart—!" Miss Wei Yaoyao's mouth was particularly mean when she got angry.
"Wei Yaoyao!"
A loud shout stopped Wei Yaoyao and the passers-by who were guessing lantern riddles. Seeing that the momentum was wrong here, they didn't want to cause trouble for themselves, and walked towards the other side of the lantern scaffolding.
"Senior brother." Wei Yaoyao trembled from being yelled at, and said with tears in her eyes, "Why did you call me by my first and last name just now, didn't you always call me Yaoyao before?"
Ning Xin's face was like a snow-covered mountain frozen thousands of miles away, and when he saw Ah Yan's red eyes and pursed mouth to prevent himself from crying, the anger in his heart rushed upwards.
He looked at Wei Yaoyao and said coldly, "Apologize!"
"Why?!" Wei Yaoyao pouted, feeling aggrieved, "He's just a child, what's wrong with me as a senior sister!"
Ning Xin had no expression on his face, and his voice was colder, and he repeated again: "Apologize! Sorry!"
"Senior brother, you have been the best to me since I was a child, and you won't blame me for what Yaoyao says." Wei Yaoyao stepped forward to hug Ning Xin's arm and said coquettishly.
"You—" Ning Xin didn't like being hugged by Wei Yaoyao like this, and was about to tell her to let go, but was interrupted by a crying voice.
"I'm leaving!" Ah Yan suddenly yelled, turned around and got into the crowd.
Seeing Ah Yan disappearing into the sea of people, Ning Xin panicked. There are many people here. Ah Yan just came to Yin Yang Gate not long ago, and he didn't learn much martial arts. What if something happened.And just when he turned to leave, he saw Ah Yan crying.
"Senior brother, I want you to accompany me to set up the lotus water lantern!" Wei Yaoyao said coquettishly, holding Ning Xin who was about to catch up.
"Let go!" Ning Xin swung his arm away from the hand that made him feel sick, looked sharply at Wei Yaoyao, and said ruthlessly, "Tomorrow I want to hear you apologize to Ah Yan, otherwise, get out of the Yin Yang Gate immediately!"
After finishing speaking, Ning Xin squeezed into the sea of people where Ah Yan disappeared.
Wei Yaoyao froze in place, as if she couldn't believe that this was the senior brother she knew before.
"Uncle, have you ever seen a boy with braids and black clothes, taller than me?" Ning Xin was sweating on his face, gesturing with his palm on his chest, and asked passers-by.
"I've never seen it before." All the way said, "Did you lose my brother? You're right, this kind of lantern festival is full of people. If you run into a photoshoot, where can you find it?"
Hearing this answer again, Ning Xin's face was mixed with disappointment and anxiety.
Suddenly, a young man selling candied haws heard the words, walked over with a rack of candied haws and asked, "Is that boy fifteen or sixteen years old, and he still has a wooden flute about the length of a finger hanging around his neck."
Ning Xin suddenly raised his head, Ah Yan was indeed wearing a wooden flute around his neck, it was left to him by his parents.
"Excuse me, did you see where he went?"
"I just came over from the gate of the city, and it seems that he is going to go out of the city." The little brother who sells candied haws kindly reminded, "Did you scold him? I saw that his eyes were very red. Kid Just say a few words, scold him out of the city this night, and you will regret it if you encounter any mountain spirits and monsters!"
Ning Xin thanked him again and again, and ran out of the city.
Now that he has regretted it, he should have scolded Wei Yaoyao away when she first arrived.
After leaving the gate of the city, they entered a dark forest within a hundred steps.The moonlight passing through the tree trunks with fallen leaves did not bring much light. Instead, together with the bursts of crows in the forest, it added some silence and terror.
"Ayan! Ahyan!" Ning Xin shouted, his voice echoing in the woods.
He walked along the path to a river, and the river was full of wishing water lanterns floating from the Red Flower City.Suddenly, rustling sounds came from a bush by the river.So he walked over and pushed aside the long grass that was as tall as a person. Ah Yan sat in it pitifully, his shoes stepping on the water's edge, dripping wet.
Ning Xin dragged him out of the grass, and was illuminated by the countless water lanterns in the river, his eyes were still twinkling, and the tears on his face were still wet.
He raised his hand, rubbed his sleeve against his face, and said softly, "Where are you going when you go out of town at night?"
"Go back to Yizhuang." Ah Yan cried for a long time, his voice a little hoarse.
"Is the Yin Yang Gate not good?" Ning's heart tightened, and he didn't understand when he was so interested in Ah Yan.
Ah Yan patted his hand on his face, as if he was very angry.
"Is it because of Yaoyao?" Ning Dao said, "I have already warned her, and I will apologize to you tomorrow, and I will not say anything nasty in the future."
Originally, Ah Yan cried for a long time, and he was already much better, but after hearing Ning Xin's words, he stared, walked around him and walked towards Yizhuang.
Seeing that he ignored him, Ning Xin caught up and said loudly, "Stop being petty!"
Ah Yan stopped and looked up at him, the tears in his eyes were reflected by the moonlight, starlight, and lights, making him extremely lonely.He sobbed and said: "Yes! I am young, and I like to make petty temper! Your sister Yaoyao is right in everything she does! You have protected her since you were a child! She is right, I am no one. If I want, the Yin Yang Gate is not suitable for me, so I might as well go back to Yizhuang!"
"No!" Ning Xin grabbed his hand, moved his lips, and said, "There is no place for people to live in a place like Yizhuang."
"Before you and Master Xia brought me back, I'd be fine living there!" Ah Yan said at the top of his voice.
Ning Xin said loudly: "We bring you back, and we will take good care of you!"
"You didn't take good care of me!" Ah Yan said, "Although Master Xia wanted to bring me back, Master Xia couldn't stay in Yin Yang Sect for a long time, so I can only look for you. But you ignored me , the whole day is either Wei Yaoyao or the head of Xia, and I am not familiar with the rest of the Yin Yang sect!"
The quarrel between the two startled all the crows, flapping their wings and circling in the air.
"I'm sorry." Ning Xin lowered his posture, squatted down and looked up at A Yan and said, "I will pay more attention to you in the future and take good care of you. Don't go back to Yizhuang, where dead people live."
"Liar!" Ah Yan pouted.
Ning Xin stood up, with a bewildered expression on his face, he didn't know how to talk to a boy, "I didn't lie to you, I really will take good care of you!"
"Huh!" Ah Yan looked at the river, looked at the floating lanterns, and said quietly, "I can only sleep under the bed at night, so you can take care of me?"
"I..." Ning Xin stammered, his face turned red immediately, and he said in a low voice, "Then you move into my room, my bed is fine for two people, it won't be crowded."
Ah Yan wiped away his tears rudely, poked his head to confirm, "Are you serious? Didn't you say something shameful at the lantern festival just now?"
"Really!" Ning said, "I lied to you at the Lantern Festival! Are you satisfied?!"
Ah Yan raised his eyebrows, his face was clean, and he said unhurriedly: "I'll move tonight!"
Ning Xin was speechless for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, come over tonight! But, we have to share two quilts!"
He didn't know why he wanted to add an extra quilt, the other party was just a teenager...
What are you thinking about? …
But I always feel that two quilts are necessary.
"Okay! Two beds are two beds!" Ah Yan's tone and expression showed that I was very dissatisfied, but I still had to compromise.
"Then, can we go home now?" Ning Xin whispered.
"Well, let's go back! But..." Ah Yan opened his arms, stood there with no intention of leaving, and said, "I'm tired, you carry me on your back."
Ning Xin laughed lowly, and squatted in front of him with his back turned, Ah Yan grinned, showing his baby teeth, and threw himself on his back.
The two walked along the river on the loop, and the wishing water lanterns on the river flickered with flickering orange flames, following the water flow towards the direction behind them, gradually drifting away, and the floating shadows were half hidden.
"It's over! It's over!!" Ah Yan said in frustration, lying on his back suddenly.
Ning Xin asked curiously, "What's the end!"
"That Lantern Festival! I was thinking that you are so powerful, maybe you can win something back for me, and now the Lantern Festival should be over." Ah Yan's chin fell heavily on the back shoulder in front of him,
"It's okay, I'll take you there again next year." Ning Xin said with a smile, "This time it's Yaoyao——"
"Hey!!" Ah Yan cut off his words with a loud voice, "Can't you call her Junior Sister or call her by her first name?! Such an intimate nickname, do you want to marry her?!"
"Okay, okay!! Don't bark, don't bark!" Ning Xin has now reached the point of obeying his words.
But he was also very helpless, what happened to him!In the past, I was very majestic to everyone, even Xia Qi, after having that dream, his mood just changed a little.
When he was in a daze, a shallow voice suddenly sounded from behind.
"My lord, I will definitely work hard to become a respectable onmyoji. I will be taller than you, able to protect you, and have the right to stand by your side forever."
"It's good to think like this. You are smart and will do it." Ning said.
The feeling of the heartbeat on the back suddenly became stronger, pounding again and again.
Ah Yan said nervously: "I learned how to play those crossword puzzles today, and I made one myself, sir, would you like to listen to it?"
Ning Xin responded lightly.
"Under the moon, the geese fly and the birds disappear."
"Auspicious stars are eight according to one mouthful."
"It's the lights again."
"You meet right with your partner."
"Four words, can you guess it?"
The author has something to say:
God!In addition to writing novels, I can also compose crossword puzzles, I am touched! !Dang Lan, only the last four sentences are made by me... Guess what these four words are, you will get a share of auntie laugh if you guess it. (re: chong)
PS: This chapter is the continuation of chapter 20 after the separation from Xia Qi. Tomorrow, the little bad wolf will become a big bad wolf. Don’t ask me why it’s so fast, I can’t wait HHH
On the long street of the night market, various shops are crowded together, and people rub shoulders with each other, crowding the street to the brim.
Ning Xin looked at Ah Yan, who was silent beside him, and felt depressed for no reason.This kid has a very strange temper recently. He loses his temper when he is not paying attention, and he doesn't say what made him angry, but sometimes he sticks to himself like a dog's skin plaster.

He took a sneak peek twice, and couldn't help but ask first: "Will the lights be boring?"
not boring. "A Yan looked at the lanterns hanging high on both sides, and said casually, "It's quite fun. "
Ning said: "Have you visited the Lantern Festival before?"
"No." Ah Yan replied bluntly: "It's so boring to come to this kind of place alone."
Ning Xin frowned, stunned, pondered for a long time, and said in a low voice: "When you were in Yizhuang, how did you live?"
"How else can I live?" Ah Yan tilted his shoulders slightly, avoiding the passers-by who were about to bump into him, and seemed to laugh at himself, before sighing, "It's a day to live."
"I remember the first time I went there, there was nothing there. Where did you get your usual food?" Ning Xin paused and asked softly.
"Eat... as long as you don't die of hunger." Ah Yan thought for a while, and said indifferently, "Every time Yizhuang sends the dead over, they will place a few plates of tribute according to the rules. Let’s go, I will hide the tribute, the fruit is perishable, the pastry is better, it can be stored for a longer time, save some food, and it can last for a month and a half.”
Those who speak have no intention, but those who listen have heart.

"Why did the master suddenly talk to me about this?" Ah Yan stopped and looked up.
"It's nothing." Ning Xin was stared at by the childish sharp eyes in front of him, feeling a little nervous for no reason, and said, "Seeing that you don't talk all the way, just chat casually."
Ah Yan glanced at him, turned around and continued walking forward, saying, "I saw that you didn't really want to talk to me, so you didn't say anything."
"Why do you think so?" Ning Xin was at a loss, followed his footsteps, and lowered his head.

"You slept on the floor?!" Ning Xin looked at him and said in a deep voice, "Why don't you sleep when you have a bed?"
Ah Yan replied, "I can't sleep on the bed."
"The bed is uncomfortable?" Ning Xin asked puzzled.
"It's not about the bed." Ah Yan shook his head and said, "I always sleep under the coffin in Yizhuang, one is to prevent people from finding out, and the other is that I don't dare to really sleep in the coffin, I always feel that those corpses will get up at night to choke my neck."
"You treat the bed as a coffin and dare not sleep on it." Ning Xin thought about the relationship and said.

Suddenly, there was a sound of gongs and drums on the long street, and the crowds rushed in one direction, only to hear a mighty and powerful voice, "Start watching the lanterns and guessing riddles!"
Ah Yan forgot to be angry, and turned his face to look in the direction of the voice, but unexpectedly, he stumbled and was bumped suddenly, and fell to one side, his nose smelling cold.
"Are you okay?" Ning Xin supported Ah Yan, worried.
Ah Yan looked up, his face fell down again, he immediately stood up straight and took two steps back, straightened his clothes, and said calmly: "It's okay."
Ning Xin's two hands were still hanging, awkwardly fixed in place.
A middle-aged man in a gray coat and jacket bowed again and again, and apologized: "I'm really sorry, I was in a hurry to guess the lantern riddles, and I didn't see your young master. I'm sorry for bumping into him."
"Is it fun to guess lantern riddles?" Ah Yan said carelessly, "So many people rushed over."

Ah Yan thought about it for a while, his eyes were bright, and he wanted to go and see, but he turned his head to look at Ning Xin who was silent, and remembered that he was still fighting with him, and didn't know how to speak, and then drooped his face.
"Want to go?" Ning Xin glanced at him, with all his thoughts on his face, and said in a clear and gentle voice.
"Yeah." Ah Yan nodded lightly and responded.
"Let's go." Ning Xin clasped his small hands, warm and soft, and said, "There are many people there, don't let go of my hand."
Seeing the two people's one-on-one answer, the middle-aged man showed sincere envy on his face, and said, "Master, you are really kind to your brother. I was beaten up by my brother when I was young."
The atmosphere that had just improved was instantly broken by his words.
Ah Yan's face was cold, a domineering air shot out of his eyes, and he said every word: "I! No! Yes! He! Brother! Brother!"
The words were about to fall to the ground, the middle-aged man was slammed, and he was stunned for a moment. When he realized it, there was no one in front of him.He scratched his head and said blankly: "Did I say the wrong thing? Why is that child's eyes so scary..."
Under the empty moon, the lanterns shine brightly, shining through the cold night.In the middle of the Lantern Festival, there is a scaffold several meters high, like a big colorful tree, with hundreds of colorful lanterns hanging on it, reflecting the light.
Ah Yan stretched out his hand to hook a pug-shaped lantern on a high place, but he was not tall enough, so he jumped around several times without even touching the side.He looked discouraged, and complained softly: "What are you doing hanging so high?!"
At this time, he raised a sleeve by his side, and with an effortless finger, he held the lantern in his hand.
"Here you are." Ning Xin handed it to his eyes, and the cold face was a little less unapproachable under the light.
Ah Yan took it, looked up at Ning Xin thoughtfully, his brows were wrinkled, and said for a long time, "I will definitely grow taller than you in three years!"
"Then you should sleep well and eat more!" Ning Xin laughed.
When it came to sleeping, Ah Yan hummed, looked down at the lantern riddle written on the lantern in his hand, and said, "There is no dog barking at the beginning (guess the word). '
He looked at it for a while, but didn't understand how to guess the lantern riddle, so he asked, "What does this mean?"
Ning Xin bent over and leaned forward with his hands behind his back to look, his naturally drooping hair touched the little hand holding the lantern, trembling slightly.
"This is a crossword puzzle, and the answer is the question word."
An old man with a white goatee came over, handed Ning Xin a red lottery, and said, "My lord is very smart, you keep this lottery, and the winner is the one who gets the most lottery after the lantern festival."
Ning Xin thanked the old man, turned his head to look at Ah Yan, saw him frowning and looking at the lantern, "Don't understand?"
"Yeah." Ah Yan replied without raising his head.
"Entrance refers to the door, there is no dog barking, remove the word "dog", and the word "entrance" means asking." Ning Xin explained.
"That's it." Ah Yan seemed to be beginning to understand what was going on, pointing to another lantern and said, "What about that one?"
Looking in the direction of the finger, there is a scrolling lantern that reads, 'The sun and the moon come together (guess the word). '
Ning Xin: "It's the word for courage."
Ah Yan: "But it's not like splitting characters?"
"This is spelling." Ning Xin gesticulated with his fingers on the lantern, and said slowly, "You see, it says "Qi Lai", which means that all three characters must be used. There are many characters when the sun and the moon are added together, but Add one and there is only the word gall."
After saying one sentence, Ning Xin got another red ticket.
A person dressed as a scholar beside him sighed: "This young man is so talented, he even solved two riddles in a short time. It's in vain that I haven't solved one after ten years of hard work."
"It's just a fluke." Ning Xinqian said.
At this time, a sweet female voice came from a distance, "Senior Brother Ning Sect Master!"
I saw Wei Yaoyao wearing a green coat and a light skirt, slightly changed into pink and black, holding a lotus water lantern in her hand, squeezed through the crowd, ran to the front panting, and said angrily: "Senior Brother Ning and Ah Yan came out to visit the Lantern Festival. calls me?"
In the past, if Wei Yaoyao spoke in such a tone, Ning Xin would be so happy.But since he had a dream with Xia Qi when he was a teenager some time ago, he found that he has changed instantly, no matter in character or in terms of people, including Wei Yaoyao, and sometimes he even thinks that his junior sister is very noisy.
"Why do I need to call you?!" Ah Yan suddenly changed his expression.
"How do you talk, you wild boy that no one wants?" Wei Yaoyao saw that Ah Yan was also very unpleasant, and was ridiculed again, pointing her nose and scolding, "You are just two senior brothers who are in charge of the dead. The little bastard you picked up, what right do you have to talk to me? Besides, after entering my Yin Yang Gate, I have to bow politely when I see my senior sister in the future!"
"Who do you call a bastard!" Ah Yan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
"Who are you to say that you don't know in your heart—!" Miss Wei Yaoyao's mouth was particularly mean when she got angry.
"Wei Yaoyao!"
A loud shout stopped Wei Yaoyao and the passers-by who were guessing lantern riddles. Seeing that the momentum was wrong here, they didn't want to cause trouble for themselves, and walked towards the other side of the lantern scaffolding.
"Senior brother." Wei Yaoyao trembled from being yelled at, and said with tears in her eyes, "Why did you call me by my first and last name just now, didn't you always call me Yaoyao before?"
Ning Xin's face was like a snow-covered mountain frozen thousands of miles away, and when he saw Ah Yan's red eyes and pursed mouth to prevent himself from crying, the anger in his heart rushed upwards.
He looked at Wei Yaoyao and said coldly, "Apologize!"
"Why?!" Wei Yaoyao pouted, feeling aggrieved, "He's just a child, what's wrong with me as a senior sister!"
Ning Xin had no expression on his face, and his voice was colder, and he repeated again: "Apologize! Sorry!"
"Senior brother, you have been the best to me since I was a child, and you won't blame me for what Yaoyao says." Wei Yaoyao stepped forward to hug Ning Xin's arm and said coquettishly.
"You—" Ning Xin didn't like being hugged by Wei Yaoyao like this, and was about to tell her to let go, but was interrupted by a crying voice.
"I'm leaving!" Ah Yan suddenly yelled, turned around and got into the crowd.
Seeing Ah Yan disappearing into the sea of people, Ning Xin panicked. There are many people here. Ah Yan just came to Yin Yang Gate not long ago, and he didn't learn much martial arts. What if something happened.And just when he turned to leave, he saw Ah Yan crying.
"Senior brother, I want you to accompany me to set up the lotus water lantern!" Wei Yaoyao said coquettishly, holding Ning Xin who was about to catch up.
"Let go!" Ning Xin swung his arm away from the hand that made him feel sick, looked sharply at Wei Yaoyao, and said ruthlessly, "Tomorrow I want to hear you apologize to Ah Yan, otherwise, get out of the Yin Yang Gate immediately!"
After finishing speaking, Ning Xin squeezed into the sea of people where Ah Yan disappeared.
Wei Yaoyao froze in place, as if she couldn't believe that this was the senior brother she knew before.
"Uncle, have you ever seen a boy with braids and black clothes, taller than me?" Ning Xin was sweating on his face, gesturing with his palm on his chest, and asked passers-by.
"I've never seen it before." All the way said, "Did you lose my brother? You're right, this kind of lantern festival is full of people. If you run into a photoshoot, where can you find it?"
Hearing this answer again, Ning Xin's face was mixed with disappointment and anxiety.
Suddenly, a young man selling candied haws heard the words, walked over with a rack of candied haws and asked, "Is that boy fifteen or sixteen years old, and he still has a wooden flute about the length of a finger hanging around his neck."
Ning Xin suddenly raised his head, Ah Yan was indeed wearing a wooden flute around his neck, it was left to him by his parents.
"Excuse me, did you see where he went?"
"I just came over from the gate of the city, and it seems that he is going to go out of the city." The little brother who sells candied haws kindly reminded, "Did you scold him? I saw that his eyes were very red. Kid Just say a few words, scold him out of the city this night, and you will regret it if you encounter any mountain spirits and monsters!"
Ning Xin thanked him again and again, and ran out of the city.
Now that he has regretted it, he should have scolded Wei Yaoyao away when she first arrived.
After leaving the gate of the city, they entered a dark forest within a hundred steps.The moonlight passing through the tree trunks with fallen leaves did not bring much light. Instead, together with the bursts of crows in the forest, it added some silence and terror.
"Ayan! Ahyan!" Ning Xin shouted, his voice echoing in the woods.
He walked along the path to a river, and the river was full of wishing water lanterns floating from the Red Flower City.Suddenly, rustling sounds came from a bush by the river.So he walked over and pushed aside the long grass that was as tall as a person. Ah Yan sat in it pitifully, his shoes stepping on the water's edge, dripping wet.
Ning Xin dragged him out of the grass, and was illuminated by the countless water lanterns in the river, his eyes were still twinkling, and the tears on his face were still wet.
He raised his hand, rubbed his sleeve against his face, and said softly, "Where are you going when you go out of town at night?"
"Go back to Yizhuang." Ah Yan cried for a long time, his voice a little hoarse.
"Is the Yin Yang Gate not good?" Ning's heart tightened, and he didn't understand when he was so interested in Ah Yan.
Ah Yan patted his hand on his face, as if he was very angry.
"Is it because of Yaoyao?" Ning Dao said, "I have already warned her, and I will apologize to you tomorrow, and I will not say anything nasty in the future."
Originally, Ah Yan cried for a long time, and he was already much better, but after hearing Ning Xin's words, he stared, walked around him and walked towards Yizhuang.
Seeing that he ignored him, Ning Xin caught up and said loudly, "Stop being petty!"
Ah Yan stopped and looked up at him, the tears in his eyes were reflected by the moonlight, starlight, and lights, making him extremely lonely.He sobbed and said: "Yes! I am young, and I like to make petty temper! Your sister Yaoyao is right in everything she does! You have protected her since you were a child! She is right, I am no one. If I want, the Yin Yang Gate is not suitable for me, so I might as well go back to Yizhuang!"
"No!" Ning Xin grabbed his hand, moved his lips, and said, "There is no place for people to live in a place like Yizhuang."
"Before you and Master Xia brought me back, I'd be fine living there!" Ah Yan said at the top of his voice.
Ning Xin said loudly: "We bring you back, and we will take good care of you!"
"You didn't take good care of me!" Ah Yan said, "Although Master Xia wanted to bring me back, Master Xia couldn't stay in Yin Yang Sect for a long time, so I can only look for you. But you ignored me , the whole day is either Wei Yaoyao or the head of Xia, and I am not familiar with the rest of the Yin Yang sect!"
The quarrel between the two startled all the crows, flapping their wings and circling in the air.
"I'm sorry." Ning Xin lowered his posture, squatted down and looked up at A Yan and said, "I will pay more attention to you in the future and take good care of you. Don't go back to Yizhuang, where dead people live."
"Liar!" Ah Yan pouted.
Ning Xin stood up, with a bewildered expression on his face, he didn't know how to talk to a boy, "I didn't lie to you, I really will take good care of you!"
"Huh!" Ah Yan looked at the river, looked at the floating lanterns, and said quietly, "I can only sleep under the bed at night, so you can take care of me?"
"I..." Ning Xin stammered, his face turned red immediately, and he said in a low voice, "Then you move into my room, my bed is fine for two people, it won't be crowded."
Ah Yan wiped away his tears rudely, poked his head to confirm, "Are you serious? Didn't you say something shameful at the lantern festival just now?"
"Really!" Ning said, "I lied to you at the Lantern Festival! Are you satisfied?!"
Ah Yan raised his eyebrows, his face was clean, and he said unhurriedly: "I'll move tonight!"
Ning Xin was speechless for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, come over tonight! But, we have to share two quilts!"
He didn't know why he wanted to add an extra quilt, the other party was just a teenager...
What are you thinking about? …
But I always feel that two quilts are necessary.
"Okay! Two beds are two beds!" Ah Yan's tone and expression showed that I was very dissatisfied, but I still had to compromise.
"Then, can we go home now?" Ning Xin whispered.
"Well, let's go back! But..." Ah Yan opened his arms, stood there with no intention of leaving, and said, "I'm tired, you carry me on your back."
Ning Xin laughed lowly, and squatted in front of him with his back turned, Ah Yan grinned, showing his baby teeth, and threw himself on his back.
The two walked along the river on the loop, and the wishing water lanterns on the river flickered with flickering orange flames, following the water flow towards the direction behind them, gradually drifting away, and the floating shadows were half hidden.
"It's over! It's over!!" Ah Yan said in frustration, lying on his back suddenly.
Ning Xin asked curiously, "What's the end!"
"That Lantern Festival! I was thinking that you are so powerful, maybe you can win something back for me, and now the Lantern Festival should be over." Ah Yan's chin fell heavily on the back shoulder in front of him,
"It's okay, I'll take you there again next year." Ning Xin said with a smile, "This time it's Yaoyao——"
"Hey!!" Ah Yan cut off his words with a loud voice, "Can't you call her Junior Sister or call her by her first name?! Such an intimate nickname, do you want to marry her?!"
"Okay, okay!! Don't bark, don't bark!" Ning Xin has now reached the point of obeying his words.
But he was also very helpless, what happened to him!In the past, I was very majestic to everyone, even Xia Qi, after having that dream, his mood just changed a little.
When he was in a daze, a shallow voice suddenly sounded from behind.
"My lord, I will definitely work hard to become a respectable onmyoji. I will be taller than you, able to protect you, and have the right to stand by your side forever."
"It's good to think like this. You are smart and will do it." Ning said.
The feeling of the heartbeat on the back suddenly became stronger, pounding again and again.
Ah Yan said nervously: "I learned how to play those crossword puzzles today, and I made one myself, sir, would you like to listen to it?"
Ning Xin responded lightly.
"Under the moon, the geese fly and the birds disappear."
"Auspicious stars are eight according to one mouthful."
"It's the lights again."
"You meet right with your partner."
"Four words, can you guess it?"
The author has something to say:
God!In addition to writing novels, I can also compose crossword puzzles, I am touched! !Dang Lan, only the last four sentences are made by me... Guess what these four words are, you will get a share of auntie laugh if you guess it. (re: chong)
PS: This chapter is the continuation of chapter 20 after the separation from Xia Qi. Tomorrow, the little bad wolf will become a big bad wolf. Don’t ask me why it’s so fast, I can’t wait HHH
